wayout

True... though I tend to agree with poolboy as a raincheck is a weasel word. If he indeed wanted to meet up at somepoint again, perhaps offer a few other potential dates that would work. If the rate is an issue, then I would let the escort know.

I’m becoming more interested in “different” experiences and my interaction with this provider has been excellent and I’m probably going to meet them.

To me age is a number, Rafael looks fantastic and is, as mentioned before adorable and super nice. Rentmen doesn’t update age automatically. As long as the photos are updated and I like what I see, I personally don’t care about age. 

That may be true.
But then 100% straight men don't work as gay escorts.
As I stated here previously. That's all marketing, not fact.
Human sexuality is a spectrum ( like Asperger's). Some people are 100% gay and some 100% straight but an increasing number of people are finding their sex life to be more in the great gray area in the middle

In the past I've hired two straight guys.  One was an outstanding experience while the other was a total waste of time.  My success rate with bi and gay guys is much better.    

As with us and dealing with clients. You have no idea the crazy we see and the tough and dangerous situations we encounter. Held at gun point and robbed by someone acting like a client and called me to a hotel just to steal 😒 everything I had. The STDs we have to be vigilant about so that we are not the cause of someone else being exposed because a client exposed us. The multitude of prank texts and calls wasting our time and sending us to abandoned buildings. The complete lack of respect from others and late nights all hours day and night having to be right there at a moments notice. Yes, I love doing this because of the good people I have met especially my chosen family I have developed through this because they are my only family. So your statement holds no value attached to my name or this thread and I do not appreciate slander. Who knows you may even be another rent man competitor trying to hinder the good I am trying to do by providing connection and appreciation to these men that otherwise may not get it. So until you can back your statement up with some sort of proof that doesn't even exist then I would appreciate the comment be removed because that sir is the right thing to do. I am a honest and caring person that couldn't even hurt a fly and never have but I have faced demons face to face and won so a little slander is not going to stop me from showing attention and love to those that call me and are of good character and personality. Nothing has ever stopped me even the pits of hell didn't hold me down and this here sir won't stop me either. 

My only goal is to bring a positive experience to each person and foster connection in a world that is disconnected from one another. Yes, sex is apart of it but at the core of this it is all about the connection and feeling seen and wanted. I have so many wonderful friends that hired me and we grew a bond and if not from them connections I might have given up a long time ago and ended the suffering I allowed myself to experience but through these relationships I found this new me. This “job” is not a job to me, it is the way I can help others that is important and meaningful. These men that have been closeted their whole life get to have a moment of joy and I freaking love seeing them happy and smiling because for a moment they got to be the person they have been suppressing. There is meaning to this lifestyle and I am willing to walk in the trenches if that is what I have to do so I can help the good men that are out there needing me to show them they do matter and they are seen and appreciated. Thank y’all and I am signing out!! 

It’s mostly a matter of definition. I had a provider tell me he was straight while two inches of his tongue were up my rectum. I didn’t care what the hell he was as long as he kept licking. 

Do you believe any of the escorts you hire are "attracted to you" ?
 

If the fact the man is straight is the primary reason for attraction for a gay man, this might be a fetish. But absent that factor, if the attraction involves the man's looks (handsome, well-built, and so on), mannerisms (so-called "straight acting" as opposed to -no offense intended here, please- "swishy"), personality (intellectual, funny, blunt or -no pun intended- straight-forward), or other common factors for attractions between people, it seems natural to me.
Since a gay man, by definition, means a man sexually attracted to another man, what would be more natural to that condition but to find the very epitome of masculinity attractive and desirable?
Getting one of them to agree, however, is more problematic. As a boss I had years ago told me regarding finding and hiring desirable candidates, "Selection is a management function; availability is in the hands of God."

In the past I've hired two straight guys.  One was an outstanding experience while the other was a total waste of time.  My success rate with bi and gay guys is much better.    

Don't get me wrong - the courteous thing to do would have been to say he wasn't interested or something.
But I do not agree that he flaked on you. He dropped out of the earliest, most non-comital stage of communication. Clients do this to providers all the time. I think of a flake as someone who makes plans and then bails or doesn't show up.
I think of the word "flake" as a serious thing to call someone in this ecosystem, because peoples' reputations as providers are built on trust and reliability. Clients have the benefit often of being anonymous and unaccountable and being able to mistreat and string along providers without consequence or damage to their reputation. Providers do not have recourse to report clients as "flakes" in a big, public way.
Now, obviously you disclosed who you were in a way that is refreshing and better than the average client. It also sounds like you displayed courteous, thorough communication and it is unfortunate that he did not reciprocate. But I feel like impugning his name on this forum just because he never got back to you at the earliest stage of communication is a bit uncalled for.
But I guess it's not worth getting into any further. I've said my opinion. I'm not interested in anything heated or overly contentious.

I don't see prices in RM ads that often (am somewhat surprised they allow it).  
I may be wrong, or maybe confused with RB when it was around, but I thought at one time there was a listing of rates under pornstar info section but that was some time ago.
I actually wish it was more common than it is as it certainly saves a step.  If I am interested in a guy but see his rate at $500 then I just move on.

I met with this young man about 6 months ago. He is as he presents himself in his profile. Nice guy, I had an interesting time. He is NOT Eastern European /  Russian. He grew up in Virginia as indicated by the area code of his phone (and told to me in person). He is straight forward and honest. You like what you see in his profile, book him. All the rest here is just uninformed speculation.  

Chris has a sweet online persona. Can’t wait to meet him. Ryker just has the perfect body type for me. He’s from Philly originally.

I have a soft spot for twinks, and Kyle and Chris are fine exemplars.  I wish I could get to Raleigh!

Great finds! I’ve always wanted to see Ryker Ryland, so now a trip to Raleigh is on my radar!

A couple of new guys on the Raleigh scene.  Anyone have any info/experiences they can share?  Thanks!!

The most I've paid was for an overnight and that was for a big name porn actor from Argentina. I'd never shell 1k for 1 hour.

What cannot be described in photos and words is how the provider makes the client feel. Before, during, and after the encounters. This dude may have a gift of interactive chemistry that’s truly outstanding, but not known until after the first date. 

Or he’s got enough regulars to provide him with a full schedule and an income for a down payment and monthly mortgage, making new clients a burden. 
Ya pays yer money ‘n takes yer chances.

If I see him “out and about” on RM I’ll report back.
